Superstars no longer rule box office: Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar feels the era of films riding on popularity of big stars is gone and at present films with solid content are ruling the box office. “It is not that if a name of a big star is attached to a movie it will automatically become hit. Only good films do well. If the script, the content is good then film works. Films of even big actors don’t work at box office sometimes. “Gone are the days when films of superstars did well or ruled the box office all the time,” Akshay said in an interview. The 46-year-old also said he does not believe in categorisation of actors. “It’s all about script and whoever is part of the film and does a good job (acts well). At the end of the day it’s the script that matters… No artist is small today. I don’t consider anyone small,” he said. Akshay would be seen next in Anthony D’Souza’s ‘Boss’, which is the remake of Malayalam film ‘Pokkiri Raja’
